David Goldblatt,The Transported of KwaNdebele

Preview

For over 60 years, David Goldblatt has documented the social and political developments of his native South Africa with a critical yet compassionate eye. Drawn “to the quiet and commonplace, where nothing ‘happened’ and yet all was contained and immanent…,” Goldblatt photographs the complexities of everyday life to reveal the far-reaching effects of apartheid and the post-apartheid conditions that continue to impact the country’s social fabric to this day. As Ingrid Sischy writes in her introduction to Kith, Kin and Khaya: South African Photographs, “ David Goldblatt is a true misfit in the history of photography A stand-out whose commitment to the medium is epic. He is one of a kind, and his images of South Africa, taken from the 1940’s and still going, will only be more reverberative as time goes on.”
